Loretta, if you have any questions call Colonial Par animal Hospital in WF and talk to Dr. Bomar or Dr.Riddle. They helped me raise a posum once that our lab brought in.

Loretta,

Was mom dead from being hit by a car or other obvious carnage? If not, Please be careful about the possibility of rabies. I was stationed at Sheppard AFB for 5 years and that was always a concern. If that's not a danger in this case Good Luck with raising the baby.
